yes work it out you can now only buy your panels out right as the gove have done away with the subsidy for anything green panels lets see vat @20% and the cost of the panels @£10,000 ,that will be 12000 please ,cash or card ?

climate change / planet warming what ever you want to call it , its a money saver for the government because they are stopping any green grants they can ,solar power for one ,wondered why all of those sales men have been trying to sell you solar panels in such a rush well thats because the gov is stopping the grants for them .

Want to start a solar farm ,this where you plant dozens of very big panels on brown field sites and give cheap energy ,well you can but you wont get any green grants for that either as the gov cuts them to !

In short if you think you are going to get a green grant for saving the planet you wont get any help from the government ,you aint !

Got a car that runs on 80% less polluting LPG well they taken another incentive of there because you used to get cheaper road tax ,and now you dont !

As we slide further down the road to mad max you then get a better understanding of what makes makes the world go around its the money its all about the MONEY MONEY MONEY !

You want green here is green the government have stopped the road tax reduction for LPG vehicles
then they are to lower the CO2 emissions number for petrol vehicles for the mot forcing millions of drivers into a higher road tax bracket ,then they are going to force drivers of diesel vehicles to fit PARTICLE FILTERS
this will lower the MPG and cut performance ,the cost is excessive to fit one and then it has to be emptied at least twice a year if not more ,dependant on mileage then you have to pay a lot more on insurance /mot /ect , and if you think this for the benifit of the planet your wrong ,its for the money ,so the next time you drive into a L.E.Z zone [low emission zone ] remember you will be fined because your diesel vehicle will be not compliant,
as for petrol engined vehicles the government is going to make 80% of them NONE COMPLIANT when they lower the CO2 numbers this means a fine if you stray into an EMISSION ZONE plus you pay a lot more for your road tax !

The government are going to get rich on this one and the word is its all coming in 2012 /2013 .
happy trails !

Warning - big elephant in room

These people get on my nerves. There can be no reduction in emissions without stopping population growth. Where are they when the two-children family is promoted, or when the wisdom of creating ever more people through IVF is questioned. Of course people in Africa are impacted, they have about 10 children, Afghans have 16. As the economies cannot absorb all these people they move to Europe, America or Australia where the lifestyle means more emissions per individual. They need to make up their mind, if they want less emissions or more people. You just cannot have both and declaring the discussion a taboo is neither helpful nor intelligent.

Safe, clean alternative energy is the future.

The price of oil and coal keeps rising while the price of wind and solar have dropped by 50% in the last 5 years.

Wind and solar sound pretty good. Upfront costs but then no annual energy bills. Sweet.
As the price of energy keeps rising having no energy bills 5 or 10 years down the road will be seems like a good investment.
